I see the license plate on the car is Rhode Island. Do you have a repair shop or just hobby?

[@OncaEngineering]

@mattisonjr this is my semi-retirement hobby. I just moved to RI. What is your interest?

[@mattisonjr]

I just bought a 2016 and want to have a knowledgable mechanic for the things I feel I can't do without speciaty tools. I just don't have faith in dealerships. I still haven't taken posession of the car yet as the used car dealership I purchased from needs to replace the pinion seal. I'm not sure I feel completely confident that it will be done correctly. I too am in RI

Ah, ok.. understood. The pinion seal is a nuanced repair job. I can help out if you get into a bind.
